An emotional Francis Ngannou marks his return to MMA with a first-round stoppage of Renan Ferreira at the PFL Super Fights event in Riyadh.
An emotional Francis Ngannou marked his return to mixed martial arts with a first-round stoppage of Renan Ferreira at the PFL Super Fights event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
But he has been adamant in the build-up to this encounter that he "never left MMA", and always planned to fight again in the cage. After defending a triangle choke attempt, Ngannou took control, posturing up and launching a series of ground strikes down on a helpless Ferreira. "I think my next move in combat sports all depends on me, how I feel. I always think I have a lot to give and I keep thinking that way."
In a fight where momentum changed multiple times, Cyborg, 39, was the more aggressive as she cemented her legacy as one of the best female MMA fighters in history. The first round was action-packed, as Cyborg landed two takedowns either side of a vicious head kick.
